#22 libreadline.so.5

[Jim Little]

I'm attempting to install the new OpenGrads Bundle

I've downloaded opengrads-2.2.1.oga.1-bundle-x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-glibc_2.11.3.tar.gz.
and following the instructions installed the bundle
in my home directory under opengrads ($HOME/opengrads or ~/opengrads)

When I try to run grads I get the following:

[~/opengrads]# grads
grads: error while loading shared libraries: libreadline.so.5: cannot
open shared object file: No such file or directory

I don't see libreadline.so.5 anywhere in the bundle and am at a loss.

I am not particularly proficient in Linux but can
generally stumble my way around and get things running. I have had
a previous version of OpenGrads running for several years
but got caught in the NOMADS server switch to https.

Can you advise?

Why did you install the glibc_2.11.3 version? Have you tried the glibc_2.17 version? Type "ldd --version" to get your glibc version.

I've downloaded opengrads-2.2.1.oga.1-bundle-x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-glibc_2.17.tar.gz, extracted the
and placed the Contents directory in my home directory under opengrads (~/opengrads).

I'm still getting an error when invoking grads.

ie: grads: error while loading shared libraries: libreadline.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

The glibc version on my server host is Version 2.12 (see below). This is apparently not the latest
version. Could this be my issue?

Any advice you can offer will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

hi Jim and Arlindo,

I first test the 2.17 linux version on a centos6 box... glibc was at 2.12
so updated to 2.17 using the .sh as root below...it's working so far

! /bin/sh

update glibc to 2.17 for CentOS 6

run as root

wget

I have posted a build with glibc 2.12 made on CentOS. This should solve your problem. It is better not to upgrade the glibc on CentOS as it can lead to other problems.
